FOR THE COMMUNITY
2024 Sponsorship Opportunities
The Haese Academy, formerly operating out of the Haese family home and public facilities, purchased a property in 2020 that has become a multi-purpose campus, benefiting our students & the greater Las Terrenas community.

CONSISTENT
NUTRITION
A staggering number of families in the Dominican Republic face stark poverty, surviving on little more than a dollar a day. The hardworking young girls and boys learning at school and training at the baseball field in Las Terrenas often do so with little or no food in their stomachs.
​
Haese Academy's most important mission is to ensure proper nutrition every day, consistently fueling our student's minds and bodies. In addition, we provide MLB and NCAA approved supplements, and teach our students the fundamentals of health and nutrition.
Our goal is to provide consistent meal plans to the children in our primary school, and the student-athletes in our college prepatory program.
